Is the JAG XJ the same as the I6?
Yup. www.jag-lovers.org Will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about these cars.

There wasn’t a huge improvement switching from the I6 to the V8.

The Jaguar is parked from mid-november to about mid-april. I just find that the body rusts easily, even when it is just exposed to the rain. So, if you are planning on buying a Jaguar christchurch, whether it be the XJ8 or XJ6, try to keep it out of the snow- it will last much longer that way.
What kind of engine does a Jaguar I-6 have?
My personal preference is V-8’s on any car, but the I-6 is a good engine, and is favored by many because it’s the last “true Jaguar” engine. If it doesn’t bother you that your Jag engine has the same block as a Ford Taurus, go with the V-8.
What’s the difference between a V8 and a XJ6?
The V8 has 290 bhp, and 290 ft.lb. of torque. So, in day to day driving, where torque is more important, they are equal. The body styles are nearly identical, the XJ6’s will be cheaper, interiors almost the same (I prefer the XJ6 interior design to the XJ8 actually).
